CLOSED MANIPULATION FOR THE REDUCTION OF FRACTURES OF THE NECK OF THE RADIUS IN CHILDREN

RAPHAEL R. GOLDENBERG M.D., F.A.C.S.1

1 PATERSON, NEW JERSEY

1. Four cases are reported of fracture of the neck of the radius in children with displacement of the proximal fragment in which satisfactory results were obtained by the Patterson manipulation.

2. It is recommended that this conservative treatment be tried in all similar cases before operative intervention is undertaken.

3. Every effort should be made to secure complete reduction. When the displaced fragment has been completely replaced, as evidenced by the parallel positions of the articular surfaces of the radius and the capitellum, complete motion is restored. When reduction has been incomplete, there is some residual limitation of motion, as in Case 4.
